S.” This following conversation took place between two popular seniors: Jimmy Cope- land and Marion Corwith: Marion: Jimmy, just think -four years ago in 34” you and I and fifty other freshmen started on our road of knowledge in Jefferson High School. Jim: Even though we were green”, I guess we showed them. When Dick Greig represented us on the football squad, that was our first showing, and when both George Srhakelmann and Dick went out for basketball, that really put us on the map.” Marion: Listen Jim. boys aren’t the only important members of the class; the girls did their part too. Maybe they didn’t get any awards of honor like the boys, but at least they took part in many of the school’s extra curricular activities, in Glee Club, G.A.A.. Band, and other things. Jim: Even though we lost eleven students from our freshman year, that doesn't mean we weren’t as good a class. Marion: Remember when Ruth A. took part in The Great Choice.” She was the only Sophomore in the cast. We sure were proud of her. Jim: Yes. ami a number of boys won football sweaters Dick Greig. George Schakelman, Lynn Shannon, and George Wagner. That just shows how we’re getting up in the world. Marion: Well, we all stayed together -no changes. Just think of everything doing that year. I think it was the most important year of our school life. Class play. Class Rings, and Prom. That kept us busy. Jim: Eryle Graper was a fine prom king, and Peggy took her part like a queen. All the Juniors are still proud of their class rings. Marion: The class play was a great hit. too. Huckleberry Finn!” Kay made a swell Aunt Polly, and Roger was perfect as Huck.” All the others deserved credit too. Jim: It doesn't seem possible for four years to have passed so quickly does it. Marion? We’re still the same class with four exceptions and two additions. Dorothy Bartel and Dorothy Foerster, Marion: Don’t you wish we were going to begin all over again? The senior class play was another success. I think most of us were a little sad at graduation, don’t you ? Jim: We didn’t do such a bad job at steering our ship of J. H. S. all through the four years. We held our own in Glee Club. Basketball. Football. Band. Orchestra. G.A.A., Declamatory, and Oratory. Let’s hope. Mr. Smith and everyone in J. H. S. were proud of us. We tried to do our very best. Helen Stengel. CONFESSIONS OF A SENIOR As our last days of high school draw near, we find our thoughts turning back slowly through those four years that gradually throughout their passing we have learned to hold in reverence. Yes. we made a lot of remarks about how tough it was and how we hated it. but they were usually made because we felt they were expected of us now we realize that we loved it. How I remember when I was a freshman, and aspired and longed for the day when I too might be a dignified senior”. But now the situation has changed astonishingly; in fact, so complete has been the change that I almost wish this was again the beginning. As a sophomore, one comforts himself somewhat in the fact that at least there is someone under him high school is old stuff; we know it from one end to the other (we think). Perhaps the junior year is one of the best; we have our chance at the class play and that gala night of youthful romance, the prom. The first few thoughts of the senior as he enters his Alma Mater in fall are a gradual assumption of dignity due largely to considerable thought and realization that, to our great surprise it will probably be the last time we shall enter this school as students with a year of new experiences before us. We have no superiors, we rule the school, we’re sitting on top of the world, but then, suddenly our thoughts take on a serious aspect THIS IS YOUR LAST YEAR—those words stand out in bold relief and we suddenly start in a furious rush to get the most out of it. We join the band, the glee club, go out for classplays why didn’t we do that before high school isn’t so bad after all. Now. the last semester, we try to gaze out into the future, at last life is before us the thought of it rather shocks us—will we achieve success or . . . No, we won’t think of it because we must try our wings first. One thing we are sure of. we have come upon the realization that here is the thing we have been preparing for and here in J.H.S. assurance is ours that this preparation has been achieved under the best conditions.

On June 32, 1937. there will be a radio program on station BLAH in which all the girls will be interested. It will be the meeting of the most famous stars of Hollywood disclosing to their great public their secrets of success in pictures. The matinee idol, Wilbert Betschler, will be the toastmaster. He will give the glamorous, blonde Ruth Marek; the fun-loving Minnie Propp; the heart-stealing Hazel Fandrei; the small but oh. my, Hazel Robb; the intriguing Gladys Streim; the panther-eyed Myra Strese; the he-man’s heart throb Erna Florin; and the answer to a young man’s prayer. Mary Wooldnge, a chance to talk to you personally. If there is any time left, he will give it over to his rivals, Floyd Church and Tarzan, or Frank Ropinski. Juniors A few inches taller, three months older, and much wiser the class of ’38 entered its third year at J.H.S. At first it was hard to realize that we were upper classmen”. Although much of one's school career is spent in study, it is the activities that in years to come you will remember. When an exceptional class graduates, everyone says at some time, What will we do now that the fellows from last year are gone?” However, the Juniors found that they could solve this problem very well. On the athletic field the following boys showed their excellent ability by obtaining J’s”: Football: Thomas Burnett, Floyd Church, Robert Diedrick. Edward Jung. Robert Miller, Leslie Pruefer, Richard Seeber. Jack Statz, Robert Tensfeldt. Basket-bell: Thomas Burnett, Edward Jung. Robert Miller, and Jack Statz. Many other boys took part in intramural athletics. The girls also had many representatives in G.A.A. activities The Juniors also had participants in other activities such as debate, band, forensics, orchestra, glee club, and the Scribblers’ Club. We all look back at the presentation of Cock Robin ’, a mystery play, with happy thoughts. The cast and staff deserve much credit for their fine presentation. Three important class meetings were held throughout the school year. The first meeting was held for the purpose of electing the following class officers: President. Robert Tensfeldt; vice-president, Richard Seeber; secretary, Leslie Pruefer; treasurer, June Blomberg; student council, Lois Fredrick and Robert Miller. The second important meeting was held to select the class rings. Now we have our rings and are very proud of them. They will always bring back memories of our school careers. The last and by far the most important meeting of the year was held to elect our prom chairman. Tom Burnett was elected and later selected as his prom queen Wilma Niebler. The Junior prom left a favorable impression upon all who attended. Having taken part in so many more activities this year and with such success, we now are able to realize that at least we are UPPER CLASSMEN.” Antoinette Cornish.

Sophomores We, the class of 39, embarked on the second lap of our cruise on the liner J. H. S. On September 8, 1936, our captain Mr. Smith drew up the gungplunk and we were off with 67 passengers aboard. Our crew consisted of: Miss Halstead, Commander: Mary Hernday, First Mate; Richard Wagner, Second Mate; June Rentmeester. holder of the ship’s maps and diagrams; while Jean Feind held the key to the ship's treasure chest. Ooretta Auchter and Raymond Hernday. acting as privates, kept in touch with the other three ships. Two new passengers that joined us were June Northey and Ruth Mary Shakshesky. The passengers of the J. H. S. were always ready to participate in extra-curricular activities such as Glee Club, Scribbler s Club. Band, and Orchestra. Of the 12 boys who went out for football, Richard Wagner received his letter. 6 boys went out for basketball. A large per cent of the girls went out for G. A. A. and won the championship in basketball. All of the passengers met on the night of February 18, 1937 and a declamatory and oratory contest w'as held. Pearlmary Schlagenhauf and Janet Hebbe were winners of the humorous declamations; Jean Feind, June Rentmeester and Barbara Bullwinkel winners of the serious declamations; and Thomas Griffin and Russell Miller won the oratory. Then on March 12, 1937 the four J. H. S. ships met and participated in another contest. In this contest Jean Feind won first place, June Rentmeester second, and Pearlmary Schlagenhauf second. The second lap of our cruise was a most successful one and we have two years left in which to complete our trip of knowledge. June Northey. Pearlmary Schlagenhauf. The Sopliomores of J. H. 5. Here’s to the Sophomores of J. H. S. Here’s to a wonderful class You can never tell how great will be The life of each lad and lass. First 1 think of Tommie and Malcolm Who are crazy scientists, Then are two girls whose names are June, Without doubt both would be missed. Now I think of our two Raymonds Boys who have a lot oi snap, Our basket-ball star is Agatha Who dances without a mishap. Now full of life and pranks is Merlin Anybody’s troubles he will share, Betty is an honor student, And plays the violin with the greatest care. A sure cure for sad hearts is Dick For he’s a jolly good sport, Connie is musically inclined And will reach the top cause she’s that sort. Two girls by the name of Bernice have we, One has dark eyes that follow you everywhere The other has a contagious laughter Which will help anybody's troubles to bear. Now I can't forget Barbara carefree and happy She's always doing something but she’s never glum And of course l£ddie our piccolo player Many to hear him, would pay a large sum. There are many others whom I’d like to write about Both boys and girls who great will be; Don’t you think tne Sophomores will win fame someday, If you don’t, just wait and see. —Jean Feind.

At first things were rather puzzling but later grew to be very pleasing and enjoyable. Our class advisor is Miss Hein and the officers are: President, Barbara Brayton; Vice President. Lewis Shannon; Treasurer, Lois Miller; Secretary, Evelyn Gunz; Student Council, Marion Bender and Robert Statz. We are enthusiastic over athletics which is indicated by the enrollment in the various sports. Out of 30 freshmen boys 12 went out for football of which 1 made the team. 2 went out for basketball of w’hich none made the first team. As for the girls we have the Girls’ Athletic Association which provides many activities for the girl athlete in which 19 freshmen girls are enrolled. Other activities in which we are interested are Band. Glee Club and Scribblers’ Club. 14 freshmen are enrolled in Band. 26 in Glee Club, and 2 in Scribblers’ Club. A large number of students entered the class oratory and declamatory contest on February 19, 1937. Lois Miller and Grace Baneck were the winners of the declamatory contest and Jerry Wagner was the winning orator. They represented us in all school tournament in which Grace Baneck was awarded first prize and Jerry Wagner second. We have had a very enjoyable time during our freshman year of high school and hope to enjoy the remaining three years. Susie Veternik.

Tie I eacliers .1 raining Department The Teachers’ Training Department of 1936-37 consisted of ten members all girls. They represent the large cities of the county three girls coming from Lake Mills, one from Fort Atkinson, one from Watertown, and the remaining five from Jefferson. The group, being small, showed an unusual spirit of friendliness and goodwill. No task seemed too difficult for these girls who knew that cooperation in a group aids the success of any enterprise. The girls received training in specific subjects to be taught in a normal rural situation. In addition to this, practice teaching in the city grades made their appreciation of the subject grow. No year is complete without program and parties. The Spring Party was quite an event, but the crowning feature is the Cadet-Teacher dinner held in April. To this, each cadet invites a teacher from a rural school to be her guest and later to guide her through the test week cadet teaching! Graduation climaxes the year’s work. PAGE TWENTY-TWO Seventh anil Eigtk Grad PS As the bell rang on last September 11. thirty-five seventh and eighth graders assembled in their seats, ready to begin in a new grade. There were twenty-one seventh graders and fourteen eighth graders, seven of whom were from other schools. This was the largest group of junior high school students since the two grades were combined. The girls predominated, outnumbering the boys two to one. The boys were not allowed to assert themselves too strongly, especially in class elections. We followed the old tradition of parties which had been set by previous grades. October 28th the seventh grade were guests at a Hallowe’en party sponsored by the eighth grade. The seventh grade reciprocated as hosts at a St. Patrick’s Day party. A contest between two teams of the girls’ gym class, in which the attitude and appearance of each individual counted points, ended in a party given by the losing team. The boys missed out on this, however. As usual the Junior High Department participated in the magazine campaign which helped to replenish our class treasury and furnish money for a radio.

As Juniors we are the cream of the crop, Starling at the bottom and working to the top. A very smart class, without a doubt; Whose brains and genius, teachers can’t do without. Our goal we set exceptionally high. We are bound to make it—will never say die! Before I go further. I think you should know, The talents of those, who want to make dough. In our hall of fame, we have Eddie Jung; If he keeps on acting, he’ll surely be hung. In business, we have Tiny, the Sausage King:” Who talks a lot of baloney, not found in a ring! A very smart girl this little Tony” Made her grades in Latin without a Pony.” Now who do you think it is, who leaves the boys in a lurch? No I won’t say who I’m going to Church. Sleeping all day is a difficult art. But to Leroy Zimmermann it is only a start. Dolores smiles, and her dimples Get the boys down—the rest is simple. When it comes to fancy drawing, there’s Chip Who draws anything from a pin to a ship. Marion is noted for making curls; She is constantly called upon, by the girls. If I pass. I’ll see you next year To tell you more of a class, whose future is clear. CLASS OF THIRTY-SEVEN Hail to the June grades of ’37 Our hats are off to you. You’ve had a difficult task And successfully carried it through. Twelve years ago you started a ship That would be great and strong, A ship to sail on any sea And go both far and long. The keel was laid the first four years, Strong, straight, and true. One that would be able to take all knocks And safely carry you through. For the next four years you fit the ribs And laid the perfect decks. And nothing but the best was used So there would be no wrecks. MEMORIES A reminiscent smile, A far away look. We dream awhile Over the latest book. We remember days of youth, We remember the gay rush. We remember Chip and Ruth, And then we begin to blush. All our friends we see, Friends of the past, These last years the finishing touches The straight masts and cabins trim, The sides all bright and shining Seaworthy in every seam. You’ve crammed her hold with treasure From all ports of the nation: Pearls of wisdom, gems of facts. And called her Education. So launch her now with happy hearts And point to her with pride; Your primary task is finished And you can sail outside. To meet the storms and the future sends The squalls, the calms, bad weather Your treasures if rightly used Will help you on forever. Richard Greig. We remember Bob and Dee Memories come fast. We remember school days. We remember gay parties. We remember debates and plays And all our datees. Remember our Junior Class! How we worked for our prom How we managed to pass. Memories! What Fun. —Genevieve Church. PAGE I WEVn I Ol II iisir Among the extra-curricular activities the Jefferson High School Band is the most prominent. It was started in 1923 under the direction of Mr. Kluck. At this time it consisted of thirty-nine members, who were very eager to build the organization up. Mr. Kluck taught the band for one year when Mr. Rodat, in 1924. took charge. He was the first who had the band enter a state band tournament at Lake Geneva in 1924. On February 1, 1926, Mr. Anhalt became the teacher, and we were extremely fortunate in retaining as able and persistent a leader. One and one-half days were set aside for Mr. Anhalt to come to Jefferson. Eight years later instead of the regular one and one-half days a week, two days were set aside. In 1937 it was arranged for Mr. Anhalt to come for two and one-half days a week. Mr. Lee, who in 1935 became the Business Manager, has endeavored to create some really splendid work. We owe the wonderful band rank formation to him. He has practiced with the group three times a week making definite progress, as you all must have observed if you attended any football games. Mr. Lee has also cultivated some wonderful techniques in the drumming section and many boys are proud to have them. Every year the band has attended some tournament and at this present date is planning to attend either the Lake Geneva or Madison tournaments in the middle of May. November 19th, the band played over W.I.B.U. and on Dec. 14th, held its usual semi-annual concert. Year after year this organization has grown, until at present sixty-two participate. We are always glad to have ncw-comers join, for they, and only they, will make up our future band. The orchestra originated in 1914. under the direction of Killiam Worrell, the manual arts instructor. Mr. Werrell was a lover of music and was very instrumental in organizing the orchestra which played mostly for pleasure as well as for special school programs. In 1920, Miss Richardson, who was interested, became their instructor. It has gradually increased in size and now has twentv-seven members. It furnishes the music for the class play and every fall and spring contributes its bit to the concerts. We hope they shall continue their good work. As early as 1926 the Junior Band developed. It has greatly increased in size. also, as you have probably noted. This is the body of young boys and girls that wc should be interested in. for they are our future musicians. Give all you have to music, little members, and you will never regret it. Orchestra SEPTEMBER 9. 1936 The first day of orchestra was given over to the electing of officers. Betty Jungkuntz was chosen president and Rosella Ganser. secretary-treasurer. Due to the carelessness of the members in forgetting their instruments, we were entertained the rest of the period by solos played by Mr. Anhalt. NOVEMBER 20. 1936 This evening the members of the junior class called upon the orchestra to furnish the music. They played from 8:00 to 8:15 then between each act and concluded with two very good numbers. People always enjoy the music furnished by the orchestra on such occasions. DECEMBER 4, 1936 One of the organizations which helped to make the fall concert a success was the orchestra. It opened the program with “The Patriot March.” Several other pieces were played, followed by a violin solo by Barbara Brayton and a trombone solo by Maynard Sell. An overture concluded the program. The audience showed their appreciation by the large encore given the orchestra, which truly they deserved. MARCH 8, 1937 Once again the Boy Scout Committee asked the orchestra to play several pieces for an introduction of their program, and in the middle to play a soft melody. The orchestra certainly comes in handy. I Adi; TWENTY-SIX Orchestra Members VIOLIN: Barbara Brayton, Barbara Bullwinkel, Rosclla Ganser. Lorraine Haas, Wilma Herschfeld.

The audience was spell-bound, when six drummers paraded down the center aisle, beating out the introduction to Semper Fidelis. Throughout the entire piece they played their parts in a diamond formation in front of the band. After this, overtures. Carnival, and Panora, a march. Imperial and a selection from Korsakov were played. Still another amazing piece followed, called Jolly Coppersmith, during which a group of band members sang. The concert was concluded with the Star-Spangled Banner. Thus a very happy and appreciative audience stood gazing upon the splendor of the J.H.S. Band, as the last strains of the Star-Spangled Banner faded away. PACE TWET.NY SEVE.N Ham! Alter many mornings of marching, and many hours of practicing, the long awaited Centennial Day arrived. The band members, dressed in their gay red and white uniforms, marched proudly ahead of the Rural School Floats. Many very good remarks were made about their marching. If some of the members could have heard all of them, they probably would have held their heads high at any encounter with members of other bands. They certainly have earned those remarks with their diligent practice and attendance. November 11. 1936. The Pep Band played at Lake Mills for the last game of the season. The Band Major wore his new dazzling maroon and white uniform. November 19. 1936. For the first time, the Jefferson High School Band played over the air giving a very excellent broadcast. The organization arrived at Madison. Thursday afternoon at 3:30 P. M. Immediately they went to the studio of W.I.B.U. and prepared themselves to give to the world the best they had. At 4.00 P. M. the program was started with a snappy march w hich was followed by an outstanding overture. To change the whole atmosphere created by the peppy march and overture, they played a piece which was very slow. soft, and dreamy. A fine trombone solo was played by Maynard Sell. Then Kenneth Strohbusch played a piano solo. This was also very well done. An overture followed by a few marches concluded the program at 4:50 P. M. Many people enjoyed this program and feel very proud of their Jefferson High School Band. Friday. Dec. 4th. the instrumental music organizations of the school, under the direction of Mr. Anhalt, presented a very fine program to a large audience. This concert is presented every fall to show parents the progress their children make. The Junior Band, composed of 35 members, definitely showed their advancement. A number of the children played excellent solos. The program was concluded by selections played by the senior band. One of the best numbers was “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. It was something unusual and was cleverly played. This organization consists of sixty members. It has two group rehearsals each week. Mr. Lee acts as business manager and assistant to Mr. Anhalt in conducting this organization. Junior .Band M embers CORNET: Harlow’ Schoessler. Barbara Hetland, Esther Bienfang.

I AGE TWENTY MNE Curls Oloe Club The Girls' Glee Clubs can look back on a very interesting and satisfactory year. This year the two Girls Glee Clubs totaled 75 members quite an increase over last year’s. Since the advanced Glee Club had so many members. Miss Sprague transferred them into the auditorium her room wasn’t large enough. The Monday Club still meets in her room. The girls enjoyed singing there because it was out of the ordinary. With Miss Sprague as the capable instructor, the girls did various things during the year. Not only did the Glee Clubs receive instruction in singing but at the beginning of each class period Miss Sprague and the girls discussed current events in the world of drama and act. Miss Sprague ordered a number of pieces for the girls. Among them were—“Sweet Lotus Flower, “Dedication, ' “Snow, “Nursery Rhymes, and “A Joyous Christmas In the Christmas Operetta, “The Wooden Shoe Christmas, the Glee Clubs made their first scheduled appearance. The two clubs, combined, in their gowns and carrying lighted candles, marched through the assembly, in twos and onto the stage from where they rendered A Joyous Christmas Song, and Country Gardens. The audience certainly showed their appreciation. The Spring Concert again brought forth the Girls’ Glee Clubs in two songs Snow and “Dedication. Again they showed what practice can do. As in the Boys’ Glee Club, a selected group of girls practiced on a few numbers which they rendered at different times during the school year. Miss Sprague can well be proud of her girls. They certainly did their part in what was required of them. An InCervi ew I. The job—doortending. II. The person Wilbur Betschler. III. Attitude toward that section of the public with which he deals they are a pretty tricky bunch. IV. Special observation his job affords him an opportunity to make: 1 would imagine they resort, I said, with pencil and pad in hand, “to all sorts of tricks and schemes to get in, especially when the weather is severe. Yes, he said, they are always trying to pull something over on me. It is either English or Glee club or Band or something that it is positively necessary for them to get in for. If you don’t believe me,’ they say, you can ask Miss Sprague or some other teacher, a great many of them try to follow' the teachers inside, but I can’t let them do it, because 1 am responsible for this job to the janitor. The other day, he continued, I observed one of them trying to pull the door from its hinges. Then, when the door is open, they barge in, to the janitor s exasperation, with their rubbers on.

The Boys’ Glee Club for this year had thirty-five members. During the year Miss Sprague worked with four boys Kenneth Strohbusch, George Wagner, Roger Wurtz and Jack Statz. This quartette rendered numbers throughout the whole year. On March 5. the boys sang ‘Ain't Gonna Study No More”, as the final piece for the Student Council program. Just this one number gave us an idea of what these boys sound like. Miss Sprague can be proud of them. In the annual spring concert, instead of just singing, the Boys’ Glee Club plans to enact a minstrel show'. The costumes will be very effective, as well as the songs. Some of the numbers which the boys worked on during the year are: “Georgia Jubilee Minstrel ’, “Carry Me Back to Old Virginia”, “Go Down, Moses”, “Ain’t Gonna Study No More’., “Here’s to Our High School Days”, “Christmas Carols”, “Who Is Sylvia”, and Grandfather’s Clock.” N otcs in M US1C Everyone is familiar with the duet which can be heard regularly at noon or after school in the halls upstairs.

Previous to this time the boys had not show n as much interest in their vocal talents. Glee clubs were of a much smaller size and did not have as much enthusiasm. This year's Glee Club has a total membership of 35 effervescent Carusos. Although their antics do not alw ays meet with the approval of the assiduous Miss Sprague, the boys have always considered eighth hour on Wednesday one of delightful diversion into the paths of harmonious melody. The Glee Club has already given one public concert in the fall music festival and is now in the process of preparing a minstrel show' which it plans to give sometime in the spring. Miss Sprague should certainly be given credit for creating new interest in the Boys’ Glee Club in the past two years. - Roger Wurtz. PAGE THIRTY THHEE Journalism It seems that Journalism in the Jefferson High School has always been quite an important matter. But just lately it has become more important. This year the Journalism section is made up of advertising. Scribblers’ Club, and J” staff. Recently advertising ha3 become quite widely known. Roger Wurtz has been doing quite a few good looking advertisements. He does all the drawing for the cards which are sent to business men, as advertisement for basketball games, football games, and other social activities. Scribblers’ Club was started when Miss Allen was still on the faculty of Jefferson High School. Each week a group of articles of interesting occurences in school life was sent down to the Jefferson Banner to be printed under the name of Student Spotlight.” Each year thereafter Scribblers’ Club has been published; quite a few compliments have been heard by various people. There could be no annual without an annual staff. There has been a staff as long as annuals have come out. So you can figure out yourself just how old the idea of having a J” really is. Out of ali the members of English 12. an editor and a business manager are elected by the members. These two in turn choose their own helpers, assistant editor and assistant business manager. The Journalism department has been very successful and we hope will keep up the good work. Advertising This is the department that is responsible for the posters and printing material advertising our extra-curricular activities and school events. It is under the guidance of Mr. Brandt. Roger Wurtz has charge of the post card advertising. He is the individual who works out each drawing on the card and then cuts the stencil. This stencil is then transferred to the cards, which have previously been addressed by the commercial department. The poster printing is done by Richard Seeber. With a printing machine, a gelatin plate, and an assortment of inks, he is able to produce a wide variety of posters. Joe Huss distributes these posters to the various stores. The ticket collectors at the football games are: Joe Huss, Leo Huss, and Joseph Vogel. For the basketball games they are: Joe Huss, Donald Monogue, Richard Seeber, and Bill Schiesl. BILL SCHIESL —(Ticket Dispenser tor Jefferson High) According to Mr. Schiesl ticket selling is quite a bit more than a mere passing out tickets in exchange for money. You may not think the job very romantic as you pass by on your way to a basketball or football game, but Bill says it is a fine chance to understand people by watching the expression on their faces. One of the characteristics of the past few games has been the look of confidence on the faces of the visitors. One difficulty which has been presenting quite a problem lately is when several boys from the visiting school come into the hallway on the pretense of warming up and then try to slip in while Bill is not looking. Mr. Schiesl says it is surprising the number of far-fetched schemes with which the people try to gain admittance. Some ask to go inside to get a drink; others are friends of the officials or have a message to deliver inside. In answer to the question as to how the student activity program, which is so prominent in Jefferson High, affects his job he replied, I think it can be said that the student activity program has helped reduce the number of Jefferson High students sneaking in; other schools who do not have such programs are continually being bothered with their own students’ trying to break in.” I believe anyone reading this interview will readily understand that the work of a ticket seller is far more interesting than the outward appearance shows it to be. ■—Roger Wurtz. PAGE THIHTY-FOUR For the past number of years the annual has been a creation representing the whole senior class. However, this year it is given over only to the members of the Senior English Class.

If I could only get an inspiration It would be a consolation: This hard thinking is driving me crazy So don’t think I'm just plain lazy. I can never make my poems look right, So 1 suppose they’ll be an awful sight If you had known of my plight May be you could have helped me write. Well I think that it’s about time, And I’ve found some lines to rhyme. So you see I’m getting my reward And my poems, I shall now record. —Helen Endl. The study hall newspapers still form the most important entertainment for the boys as they always have in the past. —Joe Beck. As I sit here wondering what to write, I recollect reading that Shakespeare sat scratching his head, too. —Myrtle Sayre. Famous last words: She won’t call for it until to-morrow. —Dorothy Foerster. This interviewing business of the Senior English class is the berries”. Some inquiring reporters try to go deep into the personal life of the victim. For further information see Rosella Ganser. —Helen Stengel. The editor of our 1937 annual is a very up and coming young lady. She does not make a big show of herself just because she has consistently maintained the highest average in the Senior class. She is not very large, but just seeing her hurry along tne nails in school show's her pep and that she has always to attend to something about the annual or some school work. I am sure our editor will make a good success of our 1937 J” with the help of the other members of the staff. Charles Bullwinkel.

PAGE THIRTY -SIX Scribblers Club For the years of 36 and ’37. the Scribblers’ Club had Miss Hein as faculty advisor, and Helen Stengel as editor. Miss Hein took Miss Halstead’s place. Miss Hein had a surprise for all the members of the club who worked faithfully on their articles through all the year—a pin signifying a ’’writing” club, by the inscribed pen and scroll. This pen was awarded to each of the members. On October 14. Miss Hein gave a ’’Bunco” party for the members of the club. After the prizes had been distributed, a lunch was served. We thank Miss Hein for the lovely time we all had. iVIcmbrrs SENIORS: Helen Stengel. Winnie Hauser. Marjorie Henry. JUNIORS: Antoinette Cornish. Rosemary Gavey. Ruth Griese, June Blomberg.

Student Library S ys£ em Eileen McGurk is a member of the student library staff. These girls take care of the library desk in study hall, and have every opportunity of seeing and watching how different students react to different conditions. When asked what she thought of the library system she approved very readily of the present system According to her opinion it teaches the student to be courteous to fellow students, and to be orderly and careful of books, magazines, and newspapers. Watching the students is Eileen’s chief hobby. She said, The way some of them wind themselves around those chairs while reading the newspapers is really funny. I otten wonder how they ever become untangled.” Is there anything peculiar about the students that attracts your attention?” I asked. Yes. the same students seem to do the same thing every day. The minute the roll call is taken you know immediately that certain people will rush to read the newspapers. The amusing thing about it is that these same people read those same papers about four periods a day.” While speaking of newspapers, what do you think of the condition these papers and magazines are left in?” I think something should be done to stop the continual ruining of this reading material. Students who really want to get information from them are unable to do so because people who care little about the material have ruined it.” The most annoying thing to Eileen is purpose every day. when the same students come for the same Ruth Auchtcr. Ini erview With Hel en Munch Helen Mundt, a popular senior, is very active. She ranks among the highest, is a grand athlete, takes an active part on the J” staff, has charge of the library desk, and is the head of hockey. Out of her many activities. I elected to interview her and find out about her work as librarian second period. Naturally the first question I asked was, Helen, how do you like the wrork as librarian?” Helen answered, Well, it takes up part of a period that I could easily use for study, but you learn more about books and how to find them on the shelves. You also learn to use reference books correctly when you have to show some one else how You come in contact with a lot of interesting books when you rummage around the shelves looking foi a book for someone else. On the whole I like the job very much and find it very interesting.” The next question I asked w'as, “What happens of interest w’hen you are back at the desk?” Many interesting things happen back there. I have the most fun w'atching some of the students actually fight over books. It really is surprising that the magazines don’t get badly torn, the way they are handled by some. You can generally tell when some teacher hands out reference w'ork. because before I can get back to the desk it is surrounded by grabbing, sprawling students. The thing I enjoy the most is watching the boys twist themselves into the funniest positions at the library tables and chairs. Some of them sit at the tables and behind the cover of newspapers or magazines, they eat lunches, croon or whistle.” Does anything make you get provoked at the students?” was my next question. Oh. yes. replied Helen. What makes me angry is w’hen I have to go all over the study hall poking into desks, looking on the floor and desks and other odd places for reference books that manage to disappear. Another thing that gets me dowrn is when some one brings a book back and I have to look way through the box with the cards in to find that certain card and then find it among the last ones or among the missing.” You didn’t ask me. but I’ll tell you some of the questions that I am asked,” volunteered Helen. “All right,” I said. Let’s have them.” Well, here they are.” ‘Will you save that book for me when it comes in?’ ‘Where are the history, economics, etc., books?’ Aren’t there any more Scholastics here?’ •Who has that book?’ ‘Is there any paste or scissors back here?’ How' many books may I take out at the same time?’ Where shall I put this card?’ That’s just a few of them but it will give you an idea. Anything else you want to know?” “No, I guess not. Thanks a lot, Helen.” —Winnie Hauser. PAGE THIRTY EIGHT FRONT ROW: Antoinette Cornish. Barbara Bullwinkel.

Dcbaic Schedule The Whitewater Debate Tournament was held on Friday, January 22 at 9 o’clock. The following is the Jefferson Debate schedule for the day. MORNING ROUND: Elkhorn affirmative vs. Jefferson negative. Jefferson lost—- 100-96. Jefferson affirmative vs. Lake Geneva negative. Jefferson won by default. AFTERNOON ROUND: Edgerton affirmative vs. Jefferson negative. Jefferson won 100-94. Jefferson affirmative vs. Randolph negative. Jefferson won 100-99. The percent or average for the debate squads was 99f c. They placed second for Jefferson High School. PACK THIRTYMNF. Debate interview Tony Cornish, a Junior, is one of the upper ten per cent of her class in school. She takes part in many activities and one of these is debate. This year the debate question was Resolved: That all electrical utilities should be governmentally owned and operated.” The affirmative team, she informs me. was composed of Betty Jungkuntz. Barbara Bullwinkel, Malcolm Houghton, and herself, w'hile the negative team consisted of Genevieve Church, Marian Schiesl, Jean Feind and Constance Ladien. When asked why she took debate. Tony said that she thought she would like it and she just simply Aloved” it after she got into it. There was much work to do in preparation for the debates, reading in all possible references about electrical utilities and then putting all the material together into a sensible and air-tight speech against the other team. Practice debates were held with Oconomow'oc and Deerfield, Oconomowoc being exceptionally good, so Tony says. Tony boasts very proudly of the outcome of Jefferson at the Whitewater District Tournament. The affirmative team won by default from Lake Geneva and also won from Randolph. The negative team lost to Elk horn and defeated Edgerton. Tony thought she would be scared stiff when the time for the debates arrived, but she soon lost her fear and had a great deal of fun. She hopes to go out for debate next year and defeat every team that she meets. - Charles Bullwinkel. Assembly Programs The students of Jefferson High School have an activity program. Included in this program besides the athletic games, class plays, and musical entertainments are a number of assembly programs. This year we have been fortunate in having a very good selection. The calendar for these programs is as follows: October 20—All Priddy, Lecturer. November 12 Hastings Marionettes. January 15— Sam Grathwell. Lecturer. February 26—Hugo Brandt. Trio. March 19 Bob Wood, Cartoonist. April 2 Johnson Brothers. The programs were all very good, but the Hastings Marionettes. Bob Wood and the Johnson Brothers caught the favor of the students. The Hastings Marionettes put on the opera of Hansel and Greta”, which the students all enjoyed immensely. Bob Wood, the cartoonist, seemed to rank tops to many students. His clever drawings received much laughter and admiration. The last program, which was the Johnson Brothers, was a program on snakes. This was very instructive, as well as entertaining. The snakes gave many students the creeps, but most of them enjoyed it anyway. These programs are sponsored by the University of Wisconsin. I’AliK KORTY Oratory ami Orel amatory This year the Oratorical and Declamatory Contests were held on a different basis, than those of years before. Four separate contests were held before the final one. All students who went out were coached for the contest under any of the following teachers: Miss Hein. Miss Halstead and Mr. Lee. After the pieces were learned well enough a contest for each class was held. The two winners from each class were to participate in the final. On March 12, this contest was held, with the following results: In Oratory, Roger Wurtz took first place when he gave the oration. New Lamps For Old”. Jerry Wagner was second with The Diminishing World . In serious declamation. The Fledging was given by Jean Feind, who was first; June Rentmeester was second, her piece being The Test Pilot . In the humorous declamations. Grace Baneck won first with her selection. Dicky At Dancing School , and Pearlmary Schlaugenhauf was second. Her selection was Babies At Trouble”. The teachers who judged this contest were three members of the Deerfield faculty. The winners of this contest had a chance to participate in the district contest, which was held in the Jefferson Auditorium. Roger Wurtz. Jean Feind. and Grace Baneck were the students who represented Jefferson High School. All three were under the supervision of Miss Halstead. PAGE 1 011 rv O.NE FRONT ROW: June Rentmeester.

A. A„ Another very successful year of cooperation in the Girls’ Athletic Association has passed. There was quite a large membership. 100 girls in all. This is the largest for a number of years. In hockey Helen Mundt was our capable umpire. Of all the class games of hockey, the one between the Sophomores and Seniors was the most exciting and competitive, the score being 3-2 in favor of the Seniors. The students on the side lines did their part. too. Basketball, the next sport in line, w'as under the supervision of Ora May Raithel. Basketball was very interesting this year, as there have been some new rules. The Sophomores again played the most outstanding classteam game with the Seniors and won! 8-5! There was a large turn-out for volleyball. Maybe volleyball doesn’t look from the side-lines as strenuous as basketball or hockey, but with a few minutes of play. I think you will change your mind. Kay Steiner, leader of volleyball, kept us interested. And last, but not least .was baseball, with a large turn-out as usual. Geraldine Graves, “sure knows her baseball.” The games were very interesting and exciting. Alvlra Oettmeier took her part as ’’head tumbler” very well. She had a large number of girls interested, and now we have quite a few talented tumblers. But that’s not all—these girls, too. did their part. Winnie Hauser was President; Marjorie Henry acted as Vice-President and Hike Leader. Helen Stengel, keeps the books and collected the dues, and Gladys Strese acted in the position of Secretary of Points. There were five Senior girls who received their ”J Winnie Hauser. Helen Stengel, Alvira Oettmeier. Gladys Strese. and Katherine Steiner.

I apping Tapping is quite an important extra-curricular activity this school year, as it has its place with the other activities. The reason why such a large number of girls enrolled, was that tapping was a novelty. Miss Conover had just started a class in 1936. The club met every Tuesday in the gymnasium, and if basketball interfered then the classes were held in the auditorium. The first few meetings of tapping many girls came but gradually some dropped out until the present number was left. The tappers mastered a great many dances. Here are a few School Days , Old Dutch , Waltz Routine , and Yankee Doodle. The dance which required a great deal of practice was Soft Shoe Routine” the dance which the tappers presented for the exhibit. Their costumes consisted of black shorts, with white blouses, and tall stove pipe hats. A special group did a number of dances at the Sanatorium at Christmas. They were the entertainment which J. H. S. provided. PAGE FORTY-SEVEN rom The Junior Prom was the most important as well as the most colorful of the social activities of the year. For days and weeks, pupils and graduates, waited for a glimpse of the Orient. Finally the long-awaited day arrived April 2. It was indeed an awed social group that stepped inside the gate of the Orient. They found themselves looking at hand-painted, life-size figures of dragons, of pretty girls in Japanese kimonas, of wall motifs, of Oriental signs and characters, including a long mural depicting Fujiyama. The sky was a loveliness of dainty, threadlike vines, and blossoming wistaria. Hanging from the heavens were Japanese lanterns and tinkling wind chimes. The orchestra was surrounded with cherry blossoms and orchid, white, and yellow chrysanthemums. In this beauty and glamour reigned the King, Thomas Burnett, and his Queen. Wilma Niebler. The grand march was a complicated affair led by the King and Queen, accompanied by enchanting music played by Bob Malcolm’s eleven-piece dance band. At twelve thirty the music ceased and another Junior Prom passed away. The supervisor, Miss Kline, and the prom board are to be congratulated on the splendor of this affair. The Domestic Science Classes, under the direction of Miss Edwards, prepare and serve several banquets during the year. The banquets they prepare are: The Teachers’ Banquet given in October, the Football Banquet given November 18, the banquet sponsored by the Teachers’ Training Department, with ten teachers with whom they were practice-teaching as guests, given April 5. and the Banquet given for the school board and faculty. Aside from the banquets, the Domestic Science classes assist Miss Edwards with the hot lunches served from January 1 until Easter. This Lunch club is very worthwhile, as it gives the rural students an opportunity to have hot lunches at a very low cost. The students of Jefferson High School have a multitude of methods to get to school. Some of the nearer ones walk when the weather permits; others have rides every morning with some one or other. Those that have a greater distance ride bikes, but this group consists mostly of boys. Then there are the Model T” drivers. I should add when the weather permits. Other students ride with drivers to whom they pay a fixed sum of money per week for transportation. It makes no difference how they get there, but they do it and that’s what counts. No rubbers and no hat and now I must pay She’s got the “flu,” I heard the doctor say. To bed they’ve rushed me and here I must stay.

Student Council The Student Council is an organization of twelve students who represent each class. The six representatives for the Seniors include: Peggy Fischer, acting as president. Eva Bauer, Winnie Hauser, George Wagner. Roger Wurtz. and Dick Greig. Of the three other classes each has two representatives. The Juniors Lois Fredrick, and Bob Miller; Sophomores—Loretta Auchter. and Ray Hernday; Freshmen Robert Statz and Marion Bender. Since the Student Council is a body representing the students, it discusses various problems of the school—mainly those which pertain to the students. One problem which required a great deal of discussion was what could be done to provide entertainment for the rural pupils during the noon lunch period. The Student Council not only discussed things, but it actual!v did some for Christmas they decorated the halls and rooms, (put a Christmas tree in the hall, and candles in all the rooms i and when the flood in Ohio was at its worst, the Student Council gave their help by taking charge of the collection that was made for the Red Cross. But best of all. they put on an assembly program, on March 5, in which they gave their version of •’Kaultenmyers’ Kindergarten. Just for Fun.” This program was written up by the members, and all took part. The Student Council is a very important department in our school life, because it brings the students and school problems closer, and, also, the students have an opportunity to render their ideas and opinions.

PAGE HKTY-SIX Football Season CAMBRIDGE vs JEFFERSON On September 26 the local gridiron season was started by Jefferson’s invading Cambridge. The game was played on a very wet field, but the day was clear. Not for a good many years has Jefferson played Cambridge on a dry field. In the first half the playing was very even. The first quarter the play was in Cambridge's territory and in the second quarter it was mostly in Jefferson’s. Shortly after the beginning of the third quarter a Cambridge man dropped a punt deep in his own territorv and Jefferson recovered. This was the only real break in the game and Jefferson took advantage of it. A fine pass to Schakelmann got a touchdown and Schakelmann kicked the extra point. The rest of the game was very even. The outcome was very uncertain until the end, when the score was 7-0 in favor of Jefferson. MILTON UNION vs JEFFERSON On October 2 Milton Union came to Jefferson to play our first game in the Rock Valley League. The team received a setback when it was learned that Schakelmann. the only letter man in the back field, was ill and would be unable to play. Milton got a break in the first quarter on a blocked punt which resulted in a touchdown and Milton kicked the extra point. In the second quarter Milton again scored on a long pass, but failed to make the extra point. The last half was about even, neither team being able to go very far into the other one’s territory. The final score was 13 to 0 in favor of Milton. EVANSVILLE vs JEFFERSON The following Friday Evansville came to Jefferson to play the second league game. It had rained all day and the ground was very wet and slippery. In this game Jefferson had to wear white jerseys because Evansville has blue ones like ours. Those white jerseys were the dirtiest things you ever saw after the game. In the first quarter Jefferson got a break on a fumble which we recovered on about the thirty-yard line. The ball was advanced, on a number of plays, to the two-yard line where Jung went over for a touchdown. In the second quarter an exchange of punts, in which Jefferson gained 20 yards, put us in scoring territory. Here Schakelmann took the ball on a reverse round left end for 21 yards for a touchdown. On the following kick-off Evansville could gain no ground and was forced to punt. The punt was blocked by Jefferson and rolled over the goal line where the punter picked it up and was tackled for a touchback. In the third quarter the ball was carried to the one-yard line and Jung went over the goal line. The final score was 21 to 0 in our favor. BRODHEAD vs JEFFERSON This week, on October 16. Brodhead came to Jefferson. Jefferson kicked off and Krodhead punted back a poor kick that went out on the fifty-yard line. In three plays the ball was on the thirty-yard line. From this point Seebcr took the ball on an end run and made a touchdown. In the second quarter Beck recovered a fumble on Brodhead’s twenty-three-yard line. The ball was advanced to the thirteen-yard line where Miller took it for a touchdown. Schakelmann's kick was good. Shortly after this Jefferson blocked a punt, which was recovered on the 25-yard line. On short but steady gains the ball was advanced to the three-yard line. Here Dick Wagner took the ball and went over for a touchdown and the first half ended with the score 19 to 0. At the beginning of the third quarter the ball was brought up to the twelve-yard line and Schakelmann took it the remaining distance to the goal line. Later in this quarter, on another good return by Schakelmann. the ball was put in the middle of the field. The ball was put in scoring territory and Dick Wagner made the final touchdown by gaining 3 yards. The second team played most of the fourth quarter and showed some very promising players. The score ended 32 to 0. ’AUK FIFTY-EIGHT CARL J. HAGER. COACH Mr. Hager has a wide recognition for his ability to bring out the best possible efforts of the athlete. Because he accomplishes this through the most pleasant ways, he encourages the good sportsmanship which is necessary. He is known for his jovial, intimate type of personality and through it gains the whole-hearted support of all his men and anyone dealing with him. HUGH C. STEWART. ASSISTANT COACH Our high school is very fortunate in having Mr. Stewart assist Mr. Hager in instructing the football and basketball boys as well as having him for our physical education and mathematics instructor. Mr. Stewart has given much valuable advice to the boys with his thorough knowledge of sport fundamentals. He has won a lasting friendship with the pupils of Jefferson High School by his pleasing smile, his quietness, and his wonderful personality. l’AUE FIFTY-NINE WATERTOWN vs JEFFERSON Watertown came to Jefferson to play the last home game of the season and the fourth game in a row in Jefferson. Schakelmann had a good day and got a touchdown in each of the first three quarters the largest was a 43-yard run in the third quarter. Seeber. in the last quarter, plunged from the three-yard line for the last touchdown. Schakelmann got 2 points after touchdown. In the second quarter Watertown threw a pass that was good for a touchdown, and the pass for the extra point was also good. Jefferson’s running attack was very good, but their pass defense was very poor and Watertown completed a number of passes. The second team played part of the last quarter. The score was 26 to 7. WHITEWATER vs JEFFERSON This week Jefferson journied to Whitewater for the second game out of town. It was one of the most exciting games played all year by Jefferson because of the fact that the score was so close. In the first half the play was very even. Once in the second quarter Whitewater got the ball on the Jefferson fifteen-yard line, but two successive losses put them back 15 yards and stopped a threat. This was the only time in the first quarter that either team got in scoring territory. In the second half plenty happened. In about the middle of the third quarter Jefferson got the ball on the fifty-yard line and a fine pass. Miller to Zahn, got a badly needed touchdown. Schakelmann’s kick was wide. In the early part of the fourth quarter Whitewater kicked from their twenty-five yard line. The ball went over Schakelmann’s head and he chose to let it roll over the goal. A Whitewater man downed it in the end zone and the referee called it a touchdown because he claimed it hit Schakelmann on the shoe. W'hitewater won the extra point and Jefferson lost 7 to 6. FORT ATKINSON vs JEFFERSON On November 4, Jefferson went down to Fort to play a night game and met a powerful Fort team which proved to be too much for our light team. Werner and Beebe, the two fast back field men for Fort, proved to be too good. The game ended 48 to 0 in favor of Fort. LAKE MILLS vs JEFF'ERSON Jefferson went to Lake Mills on November 11 to play the annual Armistice game. Badly handicapped by the loss of Schakelmann who was injured in the Fort game and unable to play, Jefferson took its worst defeat in the history of the school. From the very beginning there was little doubt as to the outcome of the game. Except in the third quarter, when Copeland caught the ball and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. Jefferson never got into scoring territory. The score was 53 to 6. ZaJin, Copeland, Beck, May, Schakelmann, and Grcig played their last game for Jefferson High School. PAGE SIXTY FRONT ROW: R.

He was the best end we had this year, although he was handicapped the later part of the season with a weak ankle, in tiie Lake Mins game “Jim” showed his speed and took an interrupted pass 70 yards to a touchdown. The team will surely miss “Jim” next year. BECK SENIOR Joe was one of the heaviest men in the line; he could tackle hard and was ready for action at all times. He was always at the bottom of the plays when they came his way. When he hit they stayed hit. Joe will be missed by the team next year. GREIG—SENIOR This is Dick’s fourth year on the squad and his fourth year as a regular. He came out when he was a freshman and had no difficulty in making the team his first year. Dick was one of the fastest and heaviest men on the team, as a result he was feared by his opponents both on the football field and basketball floor. Dick graduates this spring anti leaves a position which will be hard to fill. MAY SENIOR Although this is only Cliff’s second year on the squad he experienced no difficulty in making me first team. He was one ut Jefferson’s two passers and he threw many a touchdown pass. Cliff was very fast which accounted for many of Jefferson's yards. Too bad Cliff isn’t back next year. ZAHN SENIOR With a wing position left open Ralph stepped in and filled it like a veteran. Ralph was always a hard worker and was in the thick of the fight every minute of play. He was a sure tackier and few men circled his end for gains. He will surely be missed by old J. H. S. next year. SCHAKELM ANN—SENIOR George played on the football team three years. This year he again played quarterback and filled the position well. He gave the crowds many thrills by the way he caught passes and ran with the ball. He proved to be outstanding on both offensive and defensive playing. He was badly missed in his senior year when he could not play basketball because of an injury received at the end of the football season. It will be hard to find a man to fill George’s position next year. BURNETT JUNIOR Although Tom was very light, he had plenty of drive and was a very shifty runner. He took the knocks as they came and was not to be discouraged, always keeping up the fight. With a little added weight and this year’s experience Tom should develop into a fast, strong halfback next fall. JUNG—JUNIOR Ed. was the lightest fullback in the conference this year, but he had plenty of drive and when he hit that line he was always good for a couple of yards. He helped greatly in keeping up the fighting spirit in the team. We are glad that Eddie will be back with us again next year. I’AUK SIXTA -TNIlKK STATZ MILLER ZAHN SEEBER GREIG WAGNER GRAPER COPELAND BURNETT Football Letter Men-continued PRUEFER JUNIOR Les was one of the mainstays in the forward wall. He was continually breaking through the opponents' line to muss up plays before they got under way. On offense he opened large holes for the backfield men. He was one man that was very hard to take out of play. Les will be back again next year. MILLER JUNIOR This is Bob’s first year as a regular and he was assigned one of the hardest positions there is. He was Jefferson’s regular passer and they have to be good. Bob gained many yards around the ends and when he got in the open he was hard to tackle. With a little more weight by next fall Bob will be heard to beat. SEEBER JUNIOR Winning a berth on the team by filling a backfield position, Chip gave all he had and showed his ability by his dashes off tackles, and end runs. His ability as a runner accounted for a great amount of yardage. His fighting spirit went a long way in keeping up the spirit of the team. Chip will be with us next year. DIEDRICK JUNIOR Although very light. Bob won his letter this year at one of the wing positions. He was dead on tackles and few men came past his end. At snaring passes Bob was one of the best and many long gains were made this way. Bob has a year’s experience on his shoulders and should go a long way with the squad in 1937. CHURCH—JUNIOR This is Floyd’s first year of being one of the regulars. He showed his fight by getting off with the snap of the ball and then getting the man with the ball. With this year’s experience on his shoulders Floyd should go a long way next season. TENSFELDT -JUNIOR Bob’s third year on the team showed him to be one of the best centers in the league. He could always be depended upon on offense to open a hole and on defense to smash up the opponents' plays almost before they got started. Bob will be playing again next year and we expect some great stuff from him. ST ATZ—JUNIOR Jack held down his end of the line in fine shape. He was a sure tackier and gave good interference. His ability to catch passes was a great asset to the team. Jack will be back next year and we expect him to be a stellar performer. WAGNER SOPHOMORE Dick was sitting on the bench most of the season, but when his turn came he filled his position like a veteran. When Dick was in the game he was called upon to plunge most of the time. His plunging ability gained many yards for Jefferson. Dick has two more years left and he should develop into a mighty fine fullback by then. DA VIS- FRESHMAN Ralph was one of the main cogs in the forward wall. He was a hard, willing worker and his consistent play on both offense and defense made him a marked man in the line. Many of the opposing backs were thrown for a loss by Ralph. With three years left he will no doubt continue to be a mainstay in the Jefferson line. PAGE SIXTY-FIVE IBaskrf kail This last year Jefferson did not have a very good team. They only won two out of fifteen games. But everyone is hoping for a better team soon. There were a number of good games but only one really good game for our men. the Brodhead game. This was a very close game from the beginning until the end. In the last minute Copeland sank a long shot to tie the score and in the over-time Greig made a long shot for the winning basket. Eight men earhed their letters this year: Zahn, Burnett. Copeland. Greig. Miller. Statz, Banker and Jung. Of these four graduate. They are Copeland. Greig. Banker, and Zahn. In the last two years the improvement of the pep band at both basketball and football games has been noticed by both of the teams. The second team was composed of Wagner. Lynch, Davis. Shakshesky. Krusing. Miller, Griffin. Fischer, statz and Doeberoiner. There are a number of fellows on this team who should develop into good players. lilt ramural .Athletics During the past live years Jefferson High School has had a very fine program of Intramural Athletics. Many different games are played but a few hold most of the interest. In the tall tney play touch football and soccer, in the winter basketball, and in the spring volleyball and outdoor softball. Almost every boy in school, except those on the football or basketball team, is in the intramurals, in many places intramural activities are classed as more important than the interscholastic athletics although they are not a spectacular. This last year there were two basketball leagues in the intramural activities, the Freshman league and the Upper Class League. They played three times a week from 3:30 to 4:10. There were five teams in the senior league this year. Team one was managed by Wagner. 2 by Dietrich, 3 by Fleming, 4 by Schoeller, 5 by Schopen. Schopen s team, made up of Wright. Baars, Geo. Meinei, Griffin. Yahn, and Moen, won the championship by beating Schoeller 5 to 4 in the playoff. The standings in the league were: Team 5 ............................ 4 ..........:................. 1 ............................ 3 ............................ 2 ............................ The Freshman league had three teams. Rentn'ieester s team, the Winners, was made up of Clark, Schultz, Waterbury, Streich, Zilge. and Ganser.

COPELAND ZAHN MILLER BURNETT STATZ IBaslcetKall I ett or iVlen GREIG SENIOR Dick has played on the basketball squad for four years and has made a very good job of it. During an overtime period with Brodhead Dick came through and made a bucket from the center of the floor to declare a victory for Jefferson. Greig is a senior and will be sadly missed by his team-mates next year. COPELAND SENIOR Jim came out for basketball in his Sophomore year. He played in the second team during his second and third years, winning his letter as a guard on the first team in his senior year. Jim had his own method of shooting his specialty was an underhand shot. BANKER—SENIOR Irv. did not come out until his junior year, but he made up for lost time. He played on the second team in his third year and won his letter as guard on the first team in his senior year. ZAHN SENIOR Ralph, a senior, entered basketball in his Junior year, during which he played on the second team. He won his letter as a guard on the first team in his senior year. Ralph was characterized by a great deal of drive and endurance. STATZ—JUNIOR Jack won his letter as forward this year. He played in his first and second year on the second team. Jack’s ability as a ball handler won him his position on the first team. MILLER JUNIOR Bob’s ability as a ball handler carried him a long way on the basketball team this year. When Bob was in the game he w'as fighting the ball at all times. With this year's experience on his shoulders he should go a long way with the 1937-38 basketball squad. JUNG -JUNIOR “Jughead” was a galloping ghost on the basketball floor as well as on the football field. Eddie wasn’t a regular guard this year, but he did go to town when he got in a game. His great eye for the basket and ability as a ball handler accounted for many of Jefferson's baskets. Eddie has great possibilities and should develop into an all conference guard next year. BURNETT JUNIOR Tom went out for the basketball team when he was a freshman. He played on the second team for two years before he won his letter at forward. Tom played his best game against Lake Mills when he made three baskets and two free throws. Burnett was one of the best ball fighters Coach Hager had and should be very useful to him next year. INTERVIEW WITH ERYLE GRAPER. MANAGER Eryle Graper came to Jefferson as a Freshman. In his Junior year he was made Manager. Many of us think Eryle’s job is a very easy one. that all he has to do is to give out towels and keep track of equipment. But we are all wrong; this is only a small part of his work. Twice each week towels must be sent to the laundry. He has to pack all the basketball suits and if he should forget part of the suits it would be too bad. The kit has to be packed; some things may not be needed, but he must still have them. The basketball must be in good shape, the baskets and their nets must be kept in good repair. After a game all the suits must be dried and all torn equipment sent to be fixed. Then after each game he has to fix up a running report of the average shots a player has made, the time played, number of fouls, and average of free throws made. All this work, takes up a good number of periods a week and it keeps Eryle busy. Eryle claims that due to his fine way of taping up injuries, and his good care of bruises he was the cause of the 1935 football team. But for some reason he would not say anything of the basketball team. Richard Greig. INTERVIEW WITH ROGER WURTZ, CHEER LEADER Roger YVurtz. cheer leader for Jefferson High School, seems to be the idol of many students M it of them think cheer leading is a snap, but according to Roger there is more to it than one thinks. At basketball games Roger savs it makes him feel self-conscious to get out on the floor to lead a cheer and see all those heads peaking over the balcony. Most of the high school students want to cheer all the time without giving him any rest. and. as he says, they have no consideration for his throat whatsoever. After thinking it over most of us will have to agree with Roger that cheer leading is no snap; there are very few students, including me. who would go out and lead cheers without getting stage fright. The other cheer leaders were George Wagner and Glenn Keuler. —Bill Schiesl. pai.e sixty mm: ■SrTiiior Comment; Every man was given a mind of his own, but some have not found it yet. —Myrtle Sayre. I think the time spent in school after three-thirtv is as important as some of the regular school periods. After three-thirty basketball practice takes place, band, orchestra, and tap dancing are rehearsed. At this time all of the inter-class basketball takes place. 1 think that this period could well and rightly be called the ninth period. Eryle Graper. Some of the Seniors can hardly wait for school to end. This type of Senior w ill not know what to do when there is no school and will soon begin to wish for the fun of school life. Older people tell how much they appreciated school when they could no longer go. We take what they say with a grain of salt but we also will say the same thing when our school days are over. Charles Bullwinkel. Isn’t it strange how a freshman will admire a senior? A young freshman girl will behold and worship some senior girl. She appears to be so dignified and so sophisticated. Still when that freshman girl reaches for her diploma three years later she feels no dignity or sophistication such as she thought a senior girl would have. She wonders if a young, wide-eyed, freshman girl is adoring her now and why? Kathryn Steiner. My fancy is chocolate candy Which I eat and eat and eat. I hate tomatoes, Tomatoes in the can—tomatoes in the garden tomatoes in the pan. Marion C. ADOPTING THE JAPANESE Recently I have been reading a great deal about Japan, and it has stuck into my mind, until I have been ready to apply their principles to almost anything. There are a few good old Japanese customs that I’ll wager M. Brosey would like to have us adopt. Prominent among these is the custom which compels everyone entering a Japanese home to take off his shoes, and walk about in his stocking-feet. That would be one way to eliminate dirt in the school. I am sure we would get used to the oddity after a while. — Dorothy Foerster. To think of a hall seems very dead, But it’s a place where much is said. Helen Mundt. Hurry! Click! Come on! Give me your Bookkeeping! These are the shouts we hear as we walk down the corridors. If they would do their own work the halls would be less noisy. Try it once. Alvira Oettmeirer. MORNING LUNCH What heavy work has Miss Hauer been doing lately? The students of Home Economics were much amazed to learn that she has a light lunch ’long about ten o’clock. That must be an advantage in brain work”, too. Maybe that’s the reason Dick Mueller and Roger Wurtz always come to class chewing something. —Dorothy Foerster. A few things to remember if you do come before one o’clock. When Sam comes to open the door, do not rush in like wild animals, because he’ll just make you rush out again until he is ready to let you in. If the weather is such that it is necessary for you to wear overshoes or rubbers, be sure to remove them before you enter the hall. You might be able to get by once or twice without doing so. but don’t try it too often. —Ruth Best. Have you ever played the part of Middleman? I don’t mean the Middleman in Economics but I mean the middleman in school. You, too, probably have been studving when a white piece of paper, all folded up was thrown on your desk. They are asking you to pass it on to the next student. Dorothy Bartel. It takes a year to find out your good qualities, But a day will tell your faults Alvira Oettmeirer. A favorite lair of the not-so-industrious students in Study Hall is the chair between the book-shelves. Maybe it isn’t that they are not ambitious but that they are rather modest and wish to escape the notice of everyone, especially the instructor in charge. —Eileen McGurk. I see the clouds go floating by, Here today and gone tomorrow. That’s the way with wishes, They are so futile. The sun comes up and then goes down, And that’s the way with hope. You have it now. but soon it’s gone. To return again a thousand-fold. Winnie Hauser. PACK SKVKNTY jt [he Truth? Ain't Mr. Stewart: “What are doing.

Noise and racket, yells and slang. Running here and running there. Girls pulling at their hair, Shreiks and cries of every sort. Everywhere a curt retort; Sighing, moaning, pleading, crying. Just as if the crowd were dying— What? A house for the insane? No! “A girls’ basketball game! Under the moss lies James Coaplan. Who started to town in his old tin ran.

Till her uncle walked into a fender And came to her aid with his will. Last night I held a little hand. So dainty and so neat; I thought my heart would surely burst, So wildly did it beat. No other hand into my soul Could greater gladness bring. Than that I held last night which was, Four aces and a king. Dedicated to Jim C. She walked like a Senior. She talked like a Junior. She had copied all their airs; But her joy was crushed. When a boy snickered. Oh lookie at the Freshie over there! I stood on the bridge at midnight. The wind was full of air. When someone took the bridge away And left me standing there. The meeting— it was sudden; The parting—it was sad; She gave up her sweet life. The only life she had. She lies sleeping, peacefully, Beneath the willows now. Which is always the case When a freight-train meets a cow. Mary has a little lamp. She has it trained no doubt; For every time that Leo calls That little lamp goes out. Dirty days hath September. April, June and November; From January up to May; The rain, it raineth every day; And all the rest have thirty-one. Without a blessed gleam of sun; If some of them had two and thirty.

He stood towering before her Strong. Silent, and Menacing. Somehow she coudn't evade him. Still she came to him freely, and was going to put herself in his power. But NOW she regretted it. He came nearer. She could hear his heart heat and hers also in her throat. Suddenly she shrilled. “Please don’t hurt me.” “This w'on’t hurt you,” said the Dentist, and proceeded to pull her tooth. SHE LOVES ME The lights are dim. There is a breathless hush; then the violins begin softly. The saxaphones throb in low harmony. Underlying it all is the muffled thump of the drum-like beat of my heart. I take you in my arms hold you close to me. I look tenderly down at you. Such beauty 1 have never seen before! You are a symphony of graceful curves—and your voice is like a clear, far-off bell. The music swells you are in my arms the beat of the drums becomes more insistent the time has come!! Slowly, gently, press my lips to yours.—Good Old Trumpet! WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL A Ballad To his work did Miss Moe send. And although bored, his back did bend. To pick the paper from the floor, Or either go sailing out the door. He isn’t smiling or isn’t sad. But you can see he is good and mad. His face is covered with lather and foam. He acts as though he thinks he was home. And he feels as though she has cramped his style, But we are laughing all the while. And let this act a lesson be. As next time he will have to flee Down to the office and Mr. Smith see. —George W. Keuler In An Attitude Of Quiet Repose And this is how Helen S., the Scribbler’s Editor, says it: A shooting affair occurred last night. Sir Dwight Hopeless, a guest of Lady Panmore’s ball, complained of feeling ill, took a highball, his hat. his coat, his departure, no notice of his friends, a taxi, a pistol from his pocket and finally his life. Nice chap. Regrets and all that sort of thing.” As a Special Favor to Him—We Print: I’m just a little boy. But to some one I’m a joy. Others think I’m just a fool. Some even treat me very cool. Now I don’t know' just what to think or make. You see that’s very hard to take. So please help me—for pity’s sake By giving me a remedy, but not fake. If it w'orks, you’ll hear me sing. And on my face will be a great big grin. —-Glenn K. Charles Bullw'inkel Writing A History Test Words of Wisdom TACK Experience teaches many things we'd rather not know.

A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against and not with the wind .... But ain’t it a help? You may paint and may flatter the Ford as you will. But the heart of a flivver will beat in it still. You can’t clean up the world with soft soap it takes grit. .....Even if the grit ruins your hands a little.
