F reslimen We, the Freshmen body of students, started our high school career on September 8, 1936 with an enrollment of 66 students. 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
